Its extremely cold here (-15F) and my car wont start. Its cranking ok but not firing. I tried jump starting it but with no success. It turns over but does not fire.

I have a block heater but its of no use because the car is parked too far away from any power source. Any thoughts?

First of all, stop cranking it in such extreme colds.

Second of all, extension cords??

Thanks for the advice.

The nearest power source is atleast 300 feet away. So I would need quite a few extension cords.

Pop it into neutral and push it. Hell, if it's icy enough you won't even need it in neutral. And Christ, why are you going outside in -15F weather? .
